Access microk8s application from host in WSL2

General Discussions microk8s

Hello everyone, I’m very new with microk8s. I have set it up in WSL2, everything is working I was able to run the dashboard and access through the proxy from my host machine.
But I’m not able to access anything else.
I deployed nginx as a test and I’m able to access it from WSL, but not from my windows host.

I understand is a networking problem. I’m missing a route from WSL to my host or viceversa?
Or I’m missing an addon?
How can I make a permanent port forwarding?

These are the addons I’m using.

microk8s is running

I usually do kubectl port forwarding and then access it from windows using localhost:the_port

Normally I would do a port forwarding. But I was thinking there must be an automatic port forwarding, instead of doing it manually all the time.

Use metallb to assign an ip to access services
